The Shadow Before the Light

Darkness creeps
Silent, slow.
Fear whispers
No one knows.

Shadows stretch,
Cold and deep,
Hiding secrets
We cannot keep.

Eyes are closed,
Hearts are tight,
Waiting, waiting
For the light.

A breath, a pause,
A flicker bright,
Breaking through
The endless night.

Hope returns,
Soft and clear,
Chasing shadows
Far from here.

The storm will pass,
Calm will come,
After darkness,
Rises the sun.

New day breaks,
Soft winds blow,
Silent promise,
Starts to grow.

Life renews,
Paths made right,
All begins
With light.

Stars fade slow,
Night withdraws,
Peace returns,
Without a cause.

Dreams awaken,
Hearts take flight,
From deepest shadow
Comes new light.

Whispers soft,
Echo strong,
A world reborn,
A hopeful song.

The darkness fades,
A distant cry,
Clouds will part
Clear blue sky.

Steps are steady,
Eyes now bright,
Guided forward
By pure light.

No more fear,
No more fight,
Only dawn,
And endless light.

Only dawn,
And endless light.

New horizons,
Bright and wide,
Hope will always
Be our guide.
